I am pleased to announce that the following motion brought forward by the Corporate Services Committee, was adopted by the Council of the County of Prince Edward on December 19, 2005, having received written confirmation on December 21, 2005. The motion reads as follows:

“That the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce be informed that a two year term is being offered for visitor’s information services. Funding for visitor information services will be $52,500 for 2006 and 2007 respectively; and that the service level for visitor information services continue as currently provided plus ongoing operation and stocking of two kiosks (on the north side of Highway 33 at the western border of the County and at the Rossmore Plaza) with an mutually agreed upon, established standard of service.”

In a letter to PECCTAC from Gale Frost, Commissioner of Corporate Services/Treasurer she writes:

“Council’s direction in this matter is a response to the positive nature of recent meetings with the Chamber and reflects the municipality’s desire for stability in tourism services and support for the newly formed Tourism Alliance Group. We look forward to working with your organization to provide excellent tourism services for the County of Prince Edward”.
